Comments on: India Abroad http://niralimagazine.com/2007/04/india-abroad/ For the modern South Asian. Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:19:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Vijay http://niralimagazine.com/2007/04/india-abroad/#comment-22192 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 04:05:51 +0000 http://niralimagazine.com/2007/04/india-abroad/#comment-22192 I am glad that finally some attention has been thrown to the immigrant workers who are exploited in such harsh conditions in Dubai. Although it is mentioned in the article that the Indians in Dubai are getting much overdue attention for all this harshness subjected to them, it is not enough, not one bit. And this problem affects not just Indians, but Bangladeshi's, Pakistani's, Afghanis and Filipinos. I am an Indian who was brought up in Dubai my entire life, but I despise what they are doing to the very core. I am currently in the USA, pursuing a degree in art and it pains everytime I go back to that country to visit my family. I try and inform my American and international friends as much as possible about what Dubai actually is, because they have an image of Dubai being this desert wonderland where everybody is wealthy and well-treated. I cannot thank you enough for posting this article as this is a subject that is very dear to me, and hope something will be done about this soon. The Human rights organization has made some headway into the matter, but more has to be done.

I know we as wealthier in contrast South Asians often pride ourselves on our foreign prosperity, but we forget where the majority of Indians fall. It's a beautiful picture, one hundreth of it is, but the rest is full of things we don't like to be exposed to. Ignorance is the key to the bliss that some of us exist in, and this book attemps to uncover the ignorance. Rupa, I love this line"aymer is quick to acknowledge that these high-powered executives are “making a positive contribution to India by moving it forward very quickly,” but his sharp, journalistically-trained eye can’t ignore the entire picture." where you even catch the author trying to be slightly less harsh ! Good work:) I think it is excellent that these kind of things are being uncovered in India.

My speculation is that while the Arab Sheiks are chasing the blondes in Monaco or Monte Carlo the drivers,cooks,gardners from Kerala and Tamil Nadu 'make hay while the sun shines'. <em>Comment edited by Nirali due to offensive language.</em> I hope someone does an anthropological study of the influence of Indian immigrants on the gene pool of the middle east.I have had the opportunity of meeting some arab youth who claimed to be citizens of Dubai and Saudi Arabia while waiting at airports in the Middle East, and I was really surprised that most of them had strong facial similarities to malayalees or [deleted] Indians without any of the typical semitic features.
